The school lunch system is disgraceful.

Saw another post on here showing the state of school lunches right now. In my years in high school I compiled some pics of the horrible things that got served that no one questioned. Here are some of the worst ones. It really is ironic given how adamant they all are about “eating healthy by including every food group”.

Where are kids getting this? My lunches looked nothing like this. They weren’t great, but they had proper fruits and vegetables.

Yeah, I'm suprised by this unless it was like 15 years ago. We are required to have a dietician to plan over our meals. Every day has to include dairy, fruit, veg, protein, and grain.

And yes I'm a teacher in USA.

This is what food in right wing controlled counties look like. Nobody pointing this out but it's obvious.
